“I don’t know what you’re laughing about. All of this equipment has been bound by our blacksmith’s binding spells. Even if Treasure Pavilion takes them, you wouldn’t be able to use them at all. Hmph!” a young man with long hair said disdainfully when he saw Wu Mo’s smug face.

“In the end, you’re just a lowly mutt. You think you’ve picked up a treasure. What a joke.”

“Why don’t you sell this equipment back to us at a low price? That way, you can at least get some gains. I can buy one for ¥5,000.”

“That’s too much. Two thousand yuan is more like it. Without our help, the equipment wouldn’t be usable. If the binding is forcefully broken, the cost would probably exceed the original value of the equipment.”

The few blacksmiths standing at the door spoke at once. Their faces revealed resentment, and they wanted to see how the guy called Wu Mo would deal with the current situation.

Wei Ying stared at the cauldron that was burning with flames and had some evil intentions in his heart.

“That guy is starting a fire in the cauldron. Is he trying to destroy the equipment?”

An idea popped up in his mind, but his own reason rejected it.

The people of Unique Treasure Hall were not fools. They would not let Wu Mo destroy the equipment at will.

Moreover, the total value of the equipment was close to several hundred million yuan. Even if the people of Treasure Pavilion had a grudge against them, they would not do anything to harm their own interests.

Thinking of that, Wei Ying began to consider what to do next to reduce loss. Using the excuse of binding spells on the equipment to buy the equipment back at a low price was probably the best answer.

After all, the people of Treasure Pavilion could not use the equipment, so it was better to sell it to them.

When the time came, Unique Treasure Hall would change its name and re-establish its chamber of commerce. Then, would they not be reborn?

Therefore, to Unique Treasure Hall, the equipment was its foundation.

In any case, they had the military’s support. It would not be long before they could regain their lost market share.

Since they had this plan, they chose to protect the Wei family’s reputation and hand Unique Treasure Hall over to the others.

If everything went accordingly, then this time, the people from Unique Treasure Hall would currently just be going through the motions.

If those people from Treasure Pavilion could not utilize the equipment, it would greatly reduce the speed of Treasure Pavilion’s development. At that time, they could completely overtake them.

That was his idea, and of course, it was also the intention of the Wei family’s master.

If it could be successfully implemented, it would be able to minimize the risk and loss of their failure.

“Let’s see what you can do. In the end, you still have to obediently hand over the things that you swallowed.”

Wei Ying’s expression was unpleasant as he muttered to himself.

Right then, Wu Mo, who had climbed down from the ladder, made his way to the center of the hall and stood before the small mountain of equipment.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Wu Mo, wanting to see his reaction at this moment.

They expected him to sell the equipment at a low price. After all, without a way to untie the binding, the equipment would be useless.

Wei Ying sneered as he stood straight and waited quietly.

“Mr. Wu, what do you plan to do with the equipment?” the tenth elder walked to Wu Mo’s side and asked with a worried expression.

Once he learned that the equipment had all been bound, his heart became uneasy. After all, when Treasure Pavilion and Mr. Wu collaborated, they had already made an agreement: Wu Mo would obtain all the equipment and materials that they seized.

Mr. Wu could have managed all the equipment, but now that the equipment was bound, they would not even be worth a million if they were sold on the black market.

As a result, Mr. Wu’s interests would be greatly damaged.

The tenth elder had originally wanted to rope Mr. Wu into Treasure Pavilion, but with the present problem, Mr. Wu’s impression of Treasure Pavilion was about to sour.

Therefore, the tenth elder had been thinking about what to do to appease Mr. Wu.

Just as he fell into a dilemma because he did not know how to deal with it, Wu Mo calmly said, “I’ve already thought of a way to deal with it. Ask your men to help throw all of the equipment into the cauldron.”

Unique Treasure Hall had been relatively quiet since everyone wanted to see how Wu Mo would deal with the equipment.

Thus, Wu Mo’s words drifted into everyone’s ears without any obstruction.

The entire Unique Treasure Hall became completely silent at the very next second, especially when they saw Wu Mo’s indifferent expression.

His attitude made it seem like it was a trivial matter.

It was the kind of contrast that made people make a double take. Had they heard him wrongly?

“M-Mr. Wu, what did you say?” At that moment, the tenth elder raised his head and asked with a stiff expression. He swallowed his saliva and stared at Wu Mo.

He was not the only one who felt that he had misheard Wu Mo. Even the mocking expressions on the faces of the blacksmiths outside Unique Treasure Hall stiffened. The face of their leader, Wei Ying, instantly turned deathly pale.

He heard Wu Mo’s words clearly and also understood his intentions completely!

Although it was only the second time Wei Ying had met Wu Mo, he had suffered a lot in front of the young man. Based on his understanding, it was not in Wu Mo’s character to make false statements at such a critical juncture. Since Wu Mo dared to say such words, he had to have a plan.

“Is he crazy?!”

Wei Ying clenched his fists. He could not calm his heart for a long time. He felt the blood in his body flow rapidly and began to think about the purpose behind Wu Mo’s words.

To the people of Treasure Pavilion, this pile of equipment was nothing more than scrap metal. However, to the people of Unique Treasure Hall, it was the capital for them to make a comeback.

If the members of Treasure Pavilion did not give up and exchange the equipment for money, the Wei family would suffer a loss of at least several hundred million yuan!

When Wei Ying thought of that, his heart suddenly constricted. He felt as if he had done something wrong and given Wu mo a weapon to use against them.

Only now did he understand cause and effect. Wu Mo was clearly trying to use a small loss to completely destroy Unique Treasure Hall, leaving no room for further development!

He took a deep breath, his face looking extremely pale.

After it dawned upon him, Wei Ying could not help but think about how cunning Wu Mo was! He was actually able to destroy his plan with a single hit.

He became agitated, and when he thought about how Wu Mo’s actions might bring about the Unique Treasure Hall, terror filled his heart even more.

However, the group of blacksmiths behind Wei Ying still had not wrapped their minds around it. They had no idea what Wu Mo was going to do.

In the hall, Wu Mo bent down and picked up a piece of equipment that glowed with blue light.
